OPSEC - Navy Operations Security

Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Comment by heard t on September 28, 2011 at 3:08pm: Congrats I Smile, I cant wait !!!!!!!

Comment by aggiemom (Corpsman A School) on September 28, 2011 at 3:08pm: Congratulations I Smile!!!

Comment by ZZsMom on September 28, 2011 at 2:22pm: heard t - if she is going to the same airport as my daughter I would be glad to get it to her. If for some reason we don't connect I can always just send it back to you or get her address and send it to her direct

Comment by heard t on September 28, 2011 at 2:19pm: Yes, She has a calling car diannep. She is so desperate to get to that cell

phone (lol). I may end up doing what you did and just priority mail it to you.

I dont think she knew last letter when she would be leaving for A school.

Comment by diannep on September 28, 2011 at 1:28pm: Calls for those who went last night should start, we hope, in another couple of hours...or so!

Comment by diannep on September 28, 2011 at 1:26pm: If anyone didn't receive the call from their sailor, and your sailor has FB, be sure to check his/her page. Sometimes, the phones are so busy that they go on FB to announce that they are sailors. Many ladies have found out by checking their FB page. They are able to purchase internet time after Battlestations.

Comment by diannep on September 28, 2011 at 1:23pm: desiree is correct, heard. No phones can return to RTC with them. Is she flying out-- also-- on Sat? Same airport? They usually bus them out at around 2 a.m., if you can meet her there.

I mailed my son's cell to him...priority mail...he got it in 2 days. So if you can't give it to her, you can do that. She can always borrow a phone from a fellow sailor to call you during her traveling to A School...and she probably will have her phone card too.

Comment by navymomsrock on September 28, 2011 at 10:59am: Good luck today to the other Divisons. I am praying for your phone calls!!!

Comment by Micaela (AO Wife) on September 28, 2011 at 8:45am: Kassie: So sorry to hear about his news, but glad that you know what is going on. I have had knee surgery twice myself and I was right back up in no time, just tell your SR TO LISTEN TO THE DOCTOR unlike me. (hence why i had it twice) oops. I am a true believer that everything happens for a reason. God must have a reason why this happened to your SR and everything will work out in the end. Again, I am sorry for the passing of his grandma, you are all in my prayers.
